4mm coach miscellany.

 During the hot weather several unfinished projects have reached completion.
The etched brass offering, right and below was found in a poor condition but was complete. It has been stripped, repainted in BR unlined crimson and will be used on a branch line as a single coach- again this has had Humbrol matt varnish applied at the same time as the 33 reported a few days ago and,guess what, it too has a white sheen to the varnish-anyway this looks a bit neglected and will stay as is with maybe some weathering powders applied.
 Below is a 62ft MK1 suburban brake which has been assembled from Replica Railway parts. It is always rewarding to search Godfreys stall at exhibitions and this is the third coach built in this way. And, yes I know that the numbers are wrong but I had some rub down sheets of numbering and didn't want to buy another sheet for one coach.
